Vegan Coconut Tsampa

Vegan tsampa is one of my absolute breakfast staples and faves. It's a recipe that my mum found on the Internet a long time ago, when she first purchased tsampa. It's such a tasty and healthy ingredient.

What is tsampa?

Tsampa is a type of roasted flour, usually made from barley. According to sources compiled by the Whole Grains Council, barley is particularly beneficial at regulating blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Tsampa is a staple in Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine. Like oats, tsampa can be prepared as a breakfast porridge - just like this vegan coconut tsampa recipe.
